Abstract: A juicer for extracting the juice from a fruit includes a base having an upper platform having an aperture defined therethrough. A strainer assembly is provided on the upper platform. The juicer also includes a head that is movably disposed on the base and that has a cavity defined therein. The head is movable between a first position in which the head is proximate the strainer assembly, and a second position in which the head is away from the strainer assembly. Movement of the head between the first and second position is effected by a handle assembly that is connected to the base and to the head and that defines three pivot points that are arranged in generally vertically stacked relation with each other when the head is in the first position.
